A Wisconsin federal judge has ruled that a wrongful death civil lawsuit brought by the family of Anthony Huber, a man shot and killed by Kyle Rittenhouse, will proceed. U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman struck down a motion from Rittenhouse’s attorneys requesting that the lawsuit be dismissed.
Rittenhouse was acquitted in 2021 of homicide charges brought against him after the then 17-year-old shot three men, killing two, during demonstrations protesting the police killing of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

In the weeks leading up to Election Day, Mandela Barnes’ supporters felt frustrated. They believed in Barnes as the best Democrat to take on Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.), and election forecasts all but guaranteed a Johnson victory. That frustration gave way to fury, however, once the ballots were counted on Wednesday. Barnes lost to Johnson by a single point.
It was a performance far stronger than what former Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wisc.) achieved in his back-to-back runs against Johnson in 2010 and 2016. It also shouldn’t have been a shock. “This...

Ron Johnson once said climate change is caused by sunspots. He said Covid could be treated by gargling mouthwash. He asserted the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol had been instigated by “fake Trump supporters,” even as the two-term Senate Republican reportedly tried to supply Vice President Mike Pence with a slate of fake electors to overturn the will of Wisconsin voters during the 2020 presidential election.
Wisconsin voters didn’t mind so much — or at least an ever-so-slight majority of them didn’t. Johnson narrowly defeated Democrat Mandela Barnes, with the...

There was a time when one could often find Mandela Barnes on MSNBC. His hits peaked in late summer 2020, when Wisconsin’s 33-year-old lieutenant governor took to the liberal airwaves to register his outrage over a police shooting in Kenosha. Those appearances left a strong impression, as Barnes — young, Black, equal measures charismatic and unapologetic — condemned law enforcement’s accounts of how one of their own shot Jacob Blake, an unarmed Black man. ”We’re being told not to believe our eyes,” he said on the network. “If we have...

Bitterbrush (Emelie Mahdavian)
Watch an exclusive clip above.
While they don’t know it yet, this is, for friends Colie Moline and Hollyn Patterson, the end of five years range riding together in the American Pacific Northwest. It’s also their most comfortable after trading the usual camper for an old cabin this summer. With only themselves and a crew of herd dogs for assistance, they take to the Idahoan plains in search of the beef cattle and calves they’ve been contracted to reclaim. The work is tiring and tenuous in consistency, but also spiritually and physically rewarding—if not financially. Colie and Hollyn have grown close: an easy rapport and trust that allows director Emelie Mahdavian (and us) a glimpse into their personal lives,...

As news crews began to clear out of Kenosha, Wisconsin, over the weekend, so too did the demonstrators who had ardently shown support for Kyle Rittenhouse last week before jurors decided to acquit the 18-year-old of all charges. The few dozen protesters who remained — most of them from the local community — marched on Sunday with one clear message: There’s much work yet to be done before Kenosha can heal.
At the helm of the demonstration was Justin Blake, the uncle of 29-year-old Jacob Blake, who was shot seven times...

Hollywood stars are reacting to Kyle Rittenhouse being found not guilty by a Wisconsin jury on Friday, Nov. 19. According to NBC News, Rittenhouse, 18, was "cleared on all five charges" against him in relation to fatally shooting two men—Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26—and "severely wounding" Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, during the protests surrounding the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha last August. After the verdict was read, Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder thanked the jury for their participation. "I couldn't have asked for a better jury to work with," he said per NBC News. "It's truly been my pleasure...

Today, Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted on all charges after killing two people and wounding another while he was conducting his own armed vigilante patrol of Kenosha, Wisconsin, in response to Black Lives Matter protests. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case about whether people have a constitutional right to concealed-carry permits.
Why am I talking about these two things together? Because in combination, these two cases could mean that it is soon going to be open season on racial-justice protesters around the country.

On Friday, after more than three days of deliberation, a jury found Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty in the homicides of two people and wounding of a third who he shot with an Ar-15 during a night of protests against police brutality last year in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Earlier in the trial, Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Bruce Schroeder had dismissed a misdemeanor charge for possessing a dangerous weapon under the age of 18, because of a loophole in Wisconsin law. Rittenhouse had still faced five felony counts, including murder and attempted murder,...

In a country with sane politics, the most generous thing an elected official could say about Kyle Rittenhouse is that he made a string of terrible decisions and then tragically killed two people in self defense. The other option would be to accuse him of murder.
But the United States of 2021 is not a country with sane politics, and so for a significant chunk of the country that includes several prominent figures from one of its two major parties, Kyle Rittenhouse is a hero.

Jesse Kline, who identified himself as “Maserati Mike,” arrived outside the Kenosha County Courthouse Wednesday morning donning a purple bowtie, military-grade body armor, and an Ar-15 semi-automatic rifle. Inside the courthouse, Kyle Rittenhouse was on trial for using the same type of weapon to shoot three people, two fatally, during civil unrest the year prior.
Nearby sheriff’s deputies instructed Kline to ditch the firearm because he was within 1,000 feet of a school — one of few gun restrictions in Wisconsin — and he complied. But Kline showed up again Thursday, a...

Updated, with comment from Joe Biden: A jury found Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty on all charges in the killing two men and wounding another during the protests that followed a police shooting in Kenosha, Wi, in summer 2020.
The verdict in the case has galvanized the media and the televised trial drew ongoing coverage on cable news networks, igniting a renewed debate not just over racial injustice but the right to self defense and vigilantism.
Rittenhouse, now 18, faced five felony charges, including first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide and attempted first-degree intentional homicide, along with two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety.
During the trial, prosecutors portrayed Rittenhouse as provoking the shootings, as he brought a semiautomatic rifle to the protests and recklessly waved it that night. He was “looking for trouble,” as prosecutor Thomas Binger put it. He characterized Rittenhouse as a “wannabe” solider and part of the “chaos...

Kyle Rittenhouse has been acquitted of all charges. The jury in the high-profile trial found the teenager was acting in self-defense during a pair of deadly encounters last summer in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Rittenhouse, 18, had been charged with five counts including reckless homicide, intentional homicide, and attempted intentional homicide. He was found not guilty of all five of them. The charges stemmed from when as a 17-year-old in August 2020, Rittenhouse brought an Ar-15-style semi-automatic rifle to a protest in Kenosha, where he shot and killed two men, Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber,...

MSNBC was banned from the Wisconsin courthouse where the Kyle Rittenhouse trial has been taking place on Thursday, after Judge Bruce Schroeder, who has been presiding, cited the behavior of a freelance producer who allegedly followed a van transporting the jury and subsequently received several traffic citations from police.
The Kenosha, Wis., Police Department said the producer was briefly taken into custody Wednesday night and issued traffic citations. Schroeder said the producer ran a red light and told authorities that he was instructed to follow the jury van. Police suspected that the producer was trying to photograph jurors, but no photos were obtained.
“Last night a person who is alleging to be affiliated with a national media outlet was briefly taken into custody and issued several traffic related citations.

Both lawyers were given two-and-a-half hours to make their final case to the jury, capping off not only nearly two weeks of testimony, but a busy morning during which Judge Bruce Schroeder dismissed a misdemeanor weapons charge against Rittenhouse.

The Department of Justice on Friday closed a federal probe into a police officer who shot Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, an incident that drew widespread Hollywood condemnation.
The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin said the decision came “because the evidence obtained is insufficient to prove that the Kpd officer willfully used excessive force.”
Jacob Blake was shot seven times in his back and left partially paralyzed during the incident, which sparked several days of disturbances in Kenosha. Police were called to the scene because Blake was violating an order to stay away from his former girlfriend’s residence.
Hollywood celebrities including Camila Cabello, Demi Lovato, LeBron James, Amy Schumer, Cardi B., George Takei, Aisha Tyler, Chelsea Handler and others spoke out to condemn the shooting on social media.

144 WNBA players arrived at Img Academy in Bradenton, Florida in the middle of last summer. It’s impossible to present an itemized list of how every last one of those athletes felt about playing during such a tumultuous time, but the new ESPN documentary “144” strives to capture the same mixture of resolve and openness that it recorded over the 12 weeks inside the bubble. The result is a portrait of a league that prioritized a unified message over competition, while still managing to let its players chart different paths.
“144” features conversations with players, coaches, team staff, and league officials, some conducted with hindsight, reflecting on the events of last year. High-profile stars like Breanna Stewart, A’ja Wilson, and Sue Bird offer their thoughts on the season, but there’s a wide cross-section of players shown balancing the demands of world-class athletic competition and maintaining a connection with their families.

When Tyshun Wardlaw decided to focus her documentary, “Growing Up Milwaukee,” on the youth in Wisconsin, it didn’t take her long to find the three young people that would be the center of her film. “When I decided that I was going to do youth, I approached youth-based organizations to check and see if they knew any youth that we could be able to see and experience what some of the youth in the city is dealing with day-in and day-out,” Wardlaw tells us in our recent webchat (watch the exclusive video above). Wardlaw elaborates that the day-in and day-out for young people of color in Wisconsin’s largest city is not one that is currently promising. “Unfortunately, Milwaukee is ranked as one of the worst cities for Blacks to live and grow up in. We have high statistics with incarceration of Black and Brown men as well as economic disparities,...

“Let’s just hope in your life, you never need a police officer,” says “Fox & Friends” co-host
Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade said Thursday that protesters who call for defunding or abolishing the police should lose access to 911, the phone line that connects Americans to emergency services.
Obviously, there’s no real way protesters could be identified and subsequently barred from the free service, nor is that constitutional, but in a segment dedicated to the “Future of policing in America,” per an on-air “Fox & Friends” graphic, Kilmeade suggested it anyway.
“You know what? You should be barred — anyone who says that, you are no longer allowed to 911. Let’s just hope in your life, you never need a police officer,” he declared after co-host Ainsley Earhardt reviewed some recent examples of protests against police brutality and overreach, highlighting instances of demonstrators saying they want police “out” of the area.

After more than 50 years, Olympic gold medal-winning sprinter Tommie Smith shared the full story behind his raised-fist salute atop the podium at the 1968 Olympic Games in the documentary “With Drawn Arms” — and, by doing so, offers a greater insight into the meaning behind his silent protest and its aftermath.
In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, CAA hosted a virtual conversation with Smith and filmmakers Afshin Shahidi and Glenn Kaino. The film — which is among the 240 projects that have qualified for the Oscars Best Documentary Feature race — details the legacy of Smith’s fist-raising gesture after winning the gold medal in the 200 meter race, reflecting on the domino effect his protest had both personally and on the next generation of athlete activists, like Colin Kaepernick and Megan Rapinoe (both of whom are featured in the doc).

Players from both the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat took a knee during the national anthem ahead of Wednesday night’s game, marking a somber moment of a chaotic day.
The players’ demonstration comes after Donald Trump supporters stormed the Capitol as members of Congress convened to certify the Electoral College votes in favor of President-elect Joe Biden. The violent riot that broke out late Wednesday morning interrupted the congressional proceeding and saw government officials evacuated from the scene.
While the NBA pros took a knee in dismay of the assault on Capitol Hill, they also demonstrated against the decision in the Jacob Blake shooting. On Tuesday Kenosha officials decided that the police officer who shot Blake multiple times will not receive charges.

Photo: Bruce Willis, Andy Samberg, Will Smith Police Stories I want to start with a story. A while back when I interned at a production company, I got to read a script that was very much your standard police thriller. Cops as morally ambiguous anti-heroes? Check. Various examples of them crossing lines and making unethical choices for the sake of justice or a noble cause? Check. Tacit support by their peers and superiors in contrast to the stodgy by-the-book Internal Affairs? The anti-hero policemen feeling tormented over their actions? A lecture on not understanding what a cop goes through? Check, check, and check. I tempered my criticisms to avoid being too harsh, but the script’s valorization of crooked-but-noble cops very much bothered me. And this was well before this summer. Now?

Graveley announced the decision during a press conference Tuesday, January 5th, saying he’d informed Blake and his family of the decision prior to his address. “No Kenosha law enforcement officer in this case will be charged with any criminal offense based on the facts and the laws,” Graveley said.

In the doc, Paul, a point guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder and the president of the NBA Players Association, will recount his personal experience of being involved in the first American sports game that was shut down by the pandemic on March 11 and the subsequent shutdowns that followed.

CBS’ S.W.A.T. will kick off its fourth season with a postponed — yet more relevant-than-ever — episode that flashes back to the 1992 Los Angeles riots, TVLine has confirmed.
As originally planned out over a year ago, this flashback episode would have closed out Season 3 on April 29, which was the 28th anniversary of the Los Angeles riots (which stemmed from the acquittal of four LAPD officers for usage of excessive force in the arrest and beating of Rodney King). Instead, the episode will now open Season 4, which will arrive later this fall (again airing Wednesdays at 10/9c).

It had been over a month since Baby Rose and I were initially supposed to chat. Due to unforeseen circumstances and busy schedules, we kept pushing our interview, but we finally got to talk over the phone on Aug. 26. Settled in at my kitchen table with my second cup of coffee - you know how those midday lulls hit - I hopped on the line for my scheduled meeting with the 26-year-old singer.
Rose, born Jasmine Rose Wilson, champions the notion that most things happen exactly when they should. The month-long process of setting up our interview seems to validate that idea. When we speak, it's only three days after the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wi, and the Black community is experiencing yet another wave of heightened pain and exhaustion. In our unity as two Black women, matters surrounding the country's social consciousness are bound to seep their way into our conversation,...

Joe Biden’s presidential campaign is again drawing on support from musical artists to boost turnout among African Americans, as Jeezy, the rapper, singer and songwriter, will appear on Thursday at a campaign roundtable focused on issues facing Black men.
Joining him for the event will be actor Sean Patrick Thomas; Jeff Johnson, founder and curator of Men Thrive; Michigan State Representative Jewell Jone and Dr. David Marion, grand basileus of Omega Psi Phi fraternity. The focus will be on Covid-19 and how it has affected Black men.
Jeezy met Biden last year at an event with Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, but at the time he clarified that he was not endorsing him in advance of the state’s Democratic primary.
He had said that he has not met Kamala Harris, Biden’s running mate, in person, but got a chance to speak to her on a call.

Mark Ruffalo, a native of Kenosha, Wisconsin, spoke about the protests against racial injustice there following the police shooting of Jacob Blake — and how his hometown has been portrayed in the media — during an interview on The Daily Show Tuesday, September 15th.
Ruffalo said it was “shocking to see Kenosha in the news at all” as it’s usually a place that only gets covered when factories close. But he spoke about how powerful it was to see the peaceful protests for black lives swell there — and also touched on...

“Yeah, well, I didn’t downplay it,” Donald Trump told an ABC News’ town hall tonight of his response to the deadly coronavirus. “I actually, in many ways, I up-played it, in terms of action,” the incumbent added, citing his bans on some travel to and from China and Europe this spring. “My action was very strong.”
“Whether you call it ‘talent’ or ‘luck,’ it was very important, so we saved a lot of lives when we did that,” the former Celebrity Apprentice host went on to boast at Tuesday’s socially-distanced event in Philadelphia with George Stephanopoulos – as you can see in the clip below:
In a special @ABC2020, Pres. Trump disputes uncommitted voter who asked why he downplayed a virus that has disproportionately affected communities of color: “I up-played it, in terms of action. My action was very strong.”

John Oliver will be bringing his biting satire to HBO for at least three more years.
The premium cabler has announced it has renewed “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver” for three more seasons, taking the British comedian’s run through 10 seasons and through the year 2023.
News of the pickup comes around two weeks after Oliver aired his last episode on the Republican National Convention and the protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin over the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Season 7 also saw Oliver cover the coronavirus pandemic, which forced “Last Week Tonight” out of its CBS Broadcast Center studio back in March, police brutality, and the George Floyd protests.

What promises to be the most socially conscious season in National Football League history kicked off Thursday night in Missouri, with the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs matching up against the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium.
A league that once discouraged its players from kneeling during the national anthem has now fully embraced social activism on the field. Even formerly adamant owners like Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys have bowed to the tenor of the times, backing the players’ right to express their beliefs.
NBC’s pre-game show was heavy on promoting the sea change, with on-field player matchup talk balanced with an equal dose of talk about the social meaning of it all. The NFL is obviously nervous about its situation, as some players have openly talked about skipping a game to protest the shooting of Jacob Blake and the death of George Floyd.

“Why is it that us people of color are always having to stand for something, or say something in our work?” Keef Knight complains. “That’s why I keep it light.”
Keef (played by Lamorne Morris), the hero of Hulu’s new comedy Woke, is a writer and artist on the verge of a life-changing syndication deal for his comic strip Toast and Butter.

A boycott is an organized campaign to starve a business of revenue in an attempt to influence how the business operates. As people in the U.S. recently learned (or were reminded) during the NBA strike in response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a boycott is different from a strike, which is a refusal to work by employees as a strategy to pressure employers to meet certain demands. Both boycotts and strikes are important forms of organized political action. So what does this all have to do with Mulan, Disney’s new live-action adaptation of the Chinese legend? #BoycottMulan is an online campaign to, well, boycott Mulan. It started out as a response to social media comments Mulan star Liu Yifei made in support of the Hong Kong police in their (sometimes violent) suppression of pro-democracy protestors, and has grown into something even larger.

Geraldo Rivera has been in the media game for 50 years, and 19 of them have been spent at Fox News, where he considers himself an “oddball out” at times, though he’s never been censored, he says.
“I’m in the middle of the road. I try to see both sides,” he told TheWrap ahead of the Sunday Fox News special reviewing highlights from his half-century career. “I try to bring my experience to bear and sometimes at Fox, I’m the oddball out. You didn’t hear my voice much during the political conventions — they tend to keep me out of politics — but my opinion is really expressed. No one tries to censor me.”
His opinion, he pointed out, is often at odds with the opinions of others on the network. He cited disagreements and on-air spats with Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Greg Gutfeld — but noted he’s made incredible friends and feels respected,...

When my father, Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated, I was 10 years old. Although I was heartbroken, I remember being moved to learn that members of the Pittsburgh Pirates, led by the great Roberto Clemente, refused to play in the days following the assassination out of respect for my father.
Although other teams did not follow the Pirates example, Clemente and his white teammate, Dave Wickersham issued a statement saying “We are doing this because we white and Black players respect what Dr. King has done for mankind.”
There is a great tradition of African American professional and amateur athletes standing up for social justice. Jackie Robinson broke the “color barrier” in 1947 and continued to speak out for civil rights throughout his career. Muhammad Ali cited his religious convictions and opposition to the Vietnam War when he resisted the military draft in 1966. Olympic track stars John Carlos and Tommy Smith...

He’s a Black cartoonist living in ultra-progressive San Francisco and drawing a popular, inoffensive comic strip called Toast ‘N’ Butter that’s about to hit syndication and make him rich. He doesn’t address race in his comics because it’s never been a big factor in his life, and he doesn’t see any reason to rock the boat. But then he’s roughly tackled and handcuffed by police because they mistake him for a mugger — and suddenly, bottles of malt liquor and pens are talking to him and...
